Open rescue XIII. & In memory of Jill Phipps (April 2009)

In April 2009 there were 61 hens freed from battery cages and put in new, safe homes.

Animals are not a gift, neither is their rescue. Therefore not even this rescue is meant as a gift. It is only related to memory of a woman who did not want to just watch the useless pain and suffering of animals.

Fourteen years ago Jill Phipps died. It was Wednesday, 1st February of 1995. During a protest against transports of calves in Coventry, she stayed under the wheels of a truck which was loaded with these animals. She was 31.

About Me

I have personally crawled through many fur farms, cattle rearing farms, poultry houses and pig barns and I am still surprised that all of this is real.

I have seen minks, ferrets and arctic foxes being killed so that an image obsessed slut could feel luxurious and sexy; lonely calves confined to small boxes, torn away from their mothers and their milk, because milk belongs to the business and calves to the slaughter houses; pigs sitting and gagging in shit, their own as well as others; purposely distorted chicks that are then called broiler chickens, who are advertised as healthy and tasty meat; and I have seen hens - madly cackling and half-lunatic egg machines - covered on feathers; and I saw that all is so damn hard. I have witnessed many other terrible abuses that the judiciary system as well as the mainstream society either endorse outright or are complicit with through their silence.

I could hope that one day a change will come and I can strive towards that future. It's just that... what about the animals whose lives, at this very moment, are maimed?
